The new KR has been decent. He looks like a Welker type player. Hankerson can be solid third or fourth WR. Aldrick is good enough to be a 4th guy. We have a team with a clear #1 and a bunch of 3's and 4's. We need a solid #2, so that we can properly place our 3's and 4's in their right positions.

I agree that Hankerson and Robinson COULD be solid 3rd and 4th receivers, but they just haven't developed much. I'd love to see them step up. But one area where the coaching has been desperately weak under Shanahan is wide receiver. A proper receivers coach might just get them to break through.

Not sold on Nick Williams at all, but there are always players who emerge under new coaches. All of these guys are the sort of player that really good coaching might make all the difference.

I think Hank's numbers look pretty good for a #3 WR this year. He contributed and definitely improved on not dropping the ball. My question with him would be: as a third round pick shouldn't we be thinking he would have developed into a capable second WR? And of course, he's finished two seasons on IR now so can he bounce back from that?

Around pick 34 there should be decent OL and WR options, don't think there will be too many great safety or corner options. But people's stock can rise and drop out of nowhere. I'm thinkin Paul Richardson, Donte Moncrief, Kelvin Benjamin, Zack Martin, Antonio Richardson, Gabe Jackson, Cyril Richardson. Lotta Richardsons.

Kelvin Benjamin's stock could easily rise, especially after how Alshon Jeffery played this year.

Also there's a good DT projected to go around there, Aaron Donald, guy is a technical and strong pass rusher, and should avoid rising due to his measurables. He would help out Orakpo and Kerrigan, especially if we go back to a 4-3. He might not make it to us because he is a beast on tape, it would be a steal IMO.

According to ey he gets open. I've seen him open and missed. Again, we're talking 3rd/4th WR's here...

I see us easily getting that #2 in free agency.

I don't think we know what talent we do or don't have on this team yet...it will take a gifted coach to condition these guys to full form. We might have a hidden gem or two already on the roster.

He's a #2 IF he can get & stay healthy. 2 trips to IR don't me that confident he will.

If we're considering Garcon a 1, he's certainly a sketchy 1. He's certainly in the top 32 overall, which I guess makes him a 1, but he's not elite. He's not Calvin Johnson, AJ Green, Demaryius Thomas, Jordy Nelson, Josh Gordon, Vincent Jackson, Brandon Marshall, Dez Bryant, Fitz, etc. With that in mind, we need another 1 or a high-end 2. I don't think Leonard Hankerson is the answer.

I watched the Fiesta Bowl last night to specifically pay attention to Cyril Richardson (G -- Baylor). He was quite impressive. I would LOVE to take him with our 2nd round pick. He's garnering high 2nd round grades and has been compared to Larry Allen. Think about that lined up next to Trent Williams....

Yes, replacing Chris Chester is more important, but pay attention to Richardson at LG.
